Adverse experiences inevitably happen during development and
childhood, and all adults-even high-functioning ones-carry with
them childhood fears and anxieties. Growing neuropsychological data
explains the ease with which fear and anxiety are activated, and
the enormous power they have on the developing brain. Using recent
findings from neuropsychology, Our Anxious Selves shows that who we
are psychologically starts with the early presence of an easily
aroused fear/anxiety system. It goes on to discuss how clinicians
can view people's difficulties with self-confidence, how identity
and self-destructive patterns can be traced back to these systems,
and what clinicians can do to help. It also touches on
intergenerational transmission of trauma, people's responses to
COVID-19, PTSD, and real and imagined threats.
More than one hundred years after Freud began publishing some of
his seminal theories, the concept of the unconscious still occupies
a central position in many theoretical frameworks and clinical
approaches. When trying to understand clients' internal and
interpersonal struggles it is almost inconceivable not to look for
unconscious motivation, conflicts and relational patterns.
Clinicians also consider it a breakthrough to recognise how our own
unconscious patterns have interacted with those of our clients.
Although clinicians use concepts such as the unconscious and
dissociation, in actuality many do not take into account the newly
emerging neuropsychological attributes of nonconscious processes.
As a result, assumptions and lack of clarity overtake information
that can become central in our clinical work. This revolutionary
book presents a new model of the unconscious, one that is
continuing to emerge from the integration of neuropsychological
research with clinical experience.
